Coach's Comment:  "Lauren is a pleasure to coach. She is coachable and always willing to learn. Lauren gained a lot of experience last year. This year we are expecting her to take that experience and build on it as her responsibilities on the floor increase. She runs really well in transition and has a nice outside shot. We are excited about her future. "
